Itīs working even better that 8800, so why complayning?

HD 2900 XT decodes all HD formats even better then 8800. The way it is done is ATI problem not user problem. The decoding is working very good.

Also making a siticky of a thing like this doesnīt make much sense, but ok....
At least put in the first post those slides that show that the deconding made by 2900XT is very good, and not bad as some people want that it be....
Have you tested decoding yourself? With current drivers (8.37) there is absolutely no benefit of Radeon HD 2900 XT when decoding HD-DVD movies (VC-1 and H.264). Nothing like the figures you posted.
